Uttarakhand , one of the beautiful places in India unfortunately had to witness the breath-taking glacier burst. This disaster happened on the 7th of February, 2021. The sudden flood in the middle of the day in the Dhauli Ganga, Rishi Ganga and Alaknanda rivers which are tributaries of the Ganga was caused due to a landslide or glacier burst. Due to extreme floods nearly 72 were killed.
Nature is a gift for humans. It’s our responsibility to conserve it. We all are witnessing a drastic climate change across the world. Unexpected rainfalls, disastrous cyclones and earthquakes are putting lives at stake. The beautiful places of the world are depleting, the world’s largest ice berg in Antarctica was broken recently. Either World is really going through a rough patch or it is just healing, healing in its own way.
Researchers estimated that this glacier burst was caused due to the sudden release of water trapped inside ice glaciers. Scientists had warned the Government of India for many years that the Himalayas had been warming at a dangerously high rate and the region is extremely exposed to the dangers of development projects. Tapovan Vishnugad Hydropower Plant, The Rishiganga power project on the Rishiganga river have hit hard by the flood.

“Climate change is the major factor in the rapid freezing and thawing of ice that causes glacier fractures” says Dr. Kalachand Sain, director of the Wadia Institute. No wonder we deserve such disasters. The educated people about the climate change issue are either sitting idle or not supported to take actions. People who does not understand the severity of the issue continues to ignore. Government should take actions against climate change, it’s an emergency. We saw how people died with the shortage of medical oxygen during the surge of COVID19 second wave in India, wouldn’t it be horrifying to imagine a future where people might suffer without a pure air to breath or pure water to drink. Many environmental groups are trying hard to educate people and increase awareness but without strict rules and regulations, people are less likely to follow .
The resources we have deserve to be taken care of . Climate changes are causing day to day harm for humankind. The only way to save our Earth as well as ourselves is to take actions against climate change .
